The last prerelease for Icarus Verilog v0.7 led to a flurry of bug reports, so I have made another prerelease. A fair number of bugs were fixed in this. As with the last prerelease, I encourage people to test the installers as well as the packages.
This is also the last chance for port managers to get packaging issues resolved before the release proper. I would like to see packages made for Debian, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Solaris. I do not know what Mac OS X does for packaging.
